Tonight’s dinner was a baked corn and hamburger casserole. I modified a “Glen and Friends Cooking” recipe (youtube). I think I need to tweak it a bit more… maybe add a little cheese, next time.

I’m almost embarrassed - but not quite - to admit I first saw it on Tik Tok.

My favorite pad Thai in D.C. was served in an impressive thin omelette. It was so cool!
Thanks for the preparation notes!

Last night’s dinner was chili con carne (made two nights prior) served over seared cheddar polenta/grits. A few Fritos found their way into the bowl. Unfortunately the leftover collard greens ended up in the trash - strange off flavor despite being relatively recent.

I had cooked rice noodles to use up (because I didn’t like them in the Kerala chicken stew and wasn’t planning to eat them that way again). Spur-of the-moment return to an old favorite – Singapore Mei Fun.
No curry powder, so I used the underlying spices. Didn’t have shrimp. Found char siu from Chinatown stashed in the freezer. Used some of the chicken I poached for the stew. Half a bag of broccoli slaw for veg, plus some onion. Forgot egg.
Very nice outcome. (I also realized for the first time that these noodles taste pretty much spot on for Maggi (indian instant “ramen”), which may be why they were such a favorite in post college days.)

Yum, always a favorite.

Salmon Caesar Salad tonight. I made a slightly larger amount of the dressing and then split it in half before adding cheese. I used the half without cheese to baste and glaze salmon fillets (Nordic Blu by CleanFish) while broiling. The rest dressed the salad. Homemade croutons using leftover scali bread that needed to get used up.

Worked at my sister’s yesterday, so she picked up $4.99/lb. (!!!) Costco Dungeness crabs, and that was dinner. That and melted butter. Super sweet meat!
On Sunday I’d made Serious Eats’ Braised Chinese-Style Short Ribs With Soy, Orange, and 5-Spice Powder and we had it for dinner tonight. Very good and orangey, which i loved. Only thing was I used Trader Joe’s boneless short ribs and they were a bit stringy, even though they didn’t cook that long (I did them in the IP) since they were less than the recipe called for. Tender, but stringy. You know? In any case, I’d make them again but use some good, fat, bone-in short ribs next time. BF made rice and broccolini with ginger and garlic to go with.
